The Brits went after the ME oil (good old BP)... the USA destroys democratically elected governments and routinely install puppets around the world. It's policy. Check out Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
Then the west took a chunk of land on the Mediterranean and gave it to Zionist for a new Jewish State. Local residents were not given rights, many left, land was confiscated and that continues today more than 60 years after the gift by the Brits/West.
The West has made Israel her best buddy... pumping billions in for weapons to fight the Palestinians and the neighboring Arab states.
Anyone who thinks that there is not been sufficient cause the Arabs to fight back at the West is completely naive. But the way they fight is not launch a navy and a landing force at Cape Cod... they use insurgency and what has been called terrorism... and much like the Shock and Awe and indiscriminate bombing of the West (Hiroshima, Dresden, Baghdad.... killing millions of civilians) the evil hideous insurgencies have killed a few thousand over the last 60 years.
As long as there is such extreme militarism and exploitation of people around the world... there will be insurgencies. It's inevitable. And so Arabs might very well have been involved in the 9/11 attacks. Their motive was there. And hijacking planes is not rocket science.
Hi, Jeff,
What bothers me is that the 9/11 disaster of three buildings was caused by a very sophisticated and time-consuming preparation for a controlled demolition (you might not agree), and that most of the Arabs named by the FBI as fliers and passengers on the planes were Saudi Arabians, not Afghanis or Iraqis. Some authors have cited 9/11 as a false-flag operation in order to justify our going to war in Afghanistan and then Irag, with the added (false) accusation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). We can thank Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security adviser to President Carter, for initiating what led to the Al Qeada movement in Afghanistan with their leader, Osama bin Laden, whom we supported even after 9/11. (Watch Sibil Edmonds videos). We supported him from 1979 onwards and allowed the Taliban to take over Afghanistan. Did we need a foothold close to the Soviet Union that badly?
Otherwise. I can concur with your description of how the western nations and business corporations have mistreated and exploited the peoples of the Middle East and elswhere by robbing them of their resources and dignity.
